Mitas E-08, thoughts?

[jpdavidson]

Has anyone tried the Mitas E-08 tyres on their R1200GS?
Looking for a budget back tyre, but wont go buying something that's got a bad rep. Have seen reviews of them on R80/100GS's and they do sound very good, but being aware of my Adventure's weight, I am just a little concerned that I'm having a hard time finding ANY reviews or write ups featuring them on my bike.
The alternative for me right now is the Mitas E-10 which I have found to be a very good tyre both on and off road. I'm just aiming at more more road orientated tyre this time

Try asking on www.advrider.com, as these tyres have been available to the rest of the world way before we could buy them here in UK........
I have been trying to obtain other Mitas products but for some reason purchasing in UK is difficult.
It seems to me that Trellesport thinks what riders in UK need and that's all they will take from Mitas factory.
